Stock quotes in this article: TM , F , GM , GS , RUTH , CMG , BBI , RAD , FTD , EBAY  

Further, he urged viewers to do a little schnitzel on Rite Aid (RAD Quote) and Blockbuster (BBI Quote), which are both up significantly since he recommended them.

For all you home gamers, a schnitzel is when you sell some, but not all, of your position in a stock and play with the house's money, Cramer explained. He said that out of 1,000 shares, he would sell 200 and take the gains.

Cramer also advised taking a little -- maybe a quarter of a position -- of eBay (EBAY Quote) off the table if market players bought it at his recommendation on Dec. 7. Constellation Brands (STZ Quote) is a stock, he said, that doesn't deserve anyone's trust. Right here, down $2 from where he likes it, Cramer gave the stock a triple sell.

"If Constellation Brands sold cheap scotch, I wouldn't be caught dead drinking it on my linoleum floor," he said.

Mad Mail

In his "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer told a mailer he considers Genentech (DNA Quote) a better stock than AstraZeneca (AZN Quote).

Responding to another viewer, he said he is sticking with his judgment that Hasbro (HAS Quote) is still a good stock.

Cramer also told another viewer that he doesn't want to own an index fund, and he suggested owning Southern Co. (SO Quote) and Consolidated Edison (ED Quote) instead.

During his "Sudden Death" segment, Cramer was bullish on Reliance Steel & Aluminum (RS Quote) and bearish on First Data (FDC Quote).

Lightning Round

Cramer was bullish on Harley-Davidson (HOG Quote), China Mobile (CHL Quote), Corning (GLW Quote), Allegiant Travel (ALGT Quote), Acuity Brands (AYI Quote), Apple (AAPL Quote), Illumina (ILMN Quote) and ABB (ABB Quote).

Cramer was bearish on Navteq (NVT Quote), Garmin (GRMN Quote), AsiaInfo (ASIA Quote), Shaw Group (SGR Quote), Palm (PALM Quote) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD Quote).
